Objective: To evaluate the classroom environmental management and CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary schools from Liaoning, Tianjin, and Shanghai, thereby providing a scientific basis for developing targeted strategies to improve classroom air quality. Methods: From December 16 to 26, 2024, by using stratified random cluster sampling method, the questionnaire survey was conducted in 72 primary and secondary schools (24 each of primary, junior high, and regular high schools) across Liaoning, Tianjin and Shanghai. Information on heating, ventilation and other classroom environmental management was collected. Additionally, 108 classrooms were selected for on site microclimate measurements, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and CO 2 volume concentration. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were employed to explore related factors of classroom CO 2 volume concentration. Results: Among the three provinces/municipalities, 20.8% of schools regularly monitored the microclimate. The overall compliance rate for classroom CO 2 volume concentration was 17.6%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CO 2 volume concentration in regular and junior high school classrooms were higher than in primary school classrooms ( β=0.067, 0.046, 95%CI =0.036-0.099, 0.013-0.080); classrooms ventilated regularly in the morning and afternoon had higher CO 2 volume concentration than those ventilated during every break between classes ( β=0.043, 95%CI = 0.007- 0.080); both temperature ( β=0.010, 95%CI =0.004-0.016) and humidity ( β=0.003, 95%CI =0.002-0.004) were positively correlated with CO 2 volume concentration (all P <0.05). Conclusions Excessive CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary school classrooms is a prominent issue, and ventilation frequency is a key intervenable factor for controlling CO 2 levels. It is recommended to promote ventilation during every break between classes as a core management measure and to emphasize air quality supervision in regular high school classrooms.

This paper systematically elaborates on the key points of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors characterized by a substantial amount of extracellular mucus as a main or prominent feature, and clarifies the core differential features. The term "mucus-rich" specifically denotes that mucus is a major component of the tumor, rather than a focal or minor one. This phenomenon is associated with distinct histogenetic mechanisms: it may result from specific genetic mutations (e.g., AKT1 E17K in mucinous adenocarcinoma) that drive ductal epithelial differentiation into mucus-secreting cells, or from myoepithelial cells secreting glycosaminoglycans that form a myxoid stroma. Salivary gland tumors with abundant extracellular mucus include mucinous cystadenoma, sialadenoma papilliferum-like intraductal papillary tumors, mucinous myoepithelioma, pleomorphic adenoma with mucin-rich stroma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mucin-rich salivary duct carcinoma and intestinal-type adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of these tumors is complicated by the dual nature of extracellular mucus: while it is a defining feature of some entities, it can also obscure key diagnostic architectural features in others, leading to histological overlap and inconspicuous diagnostic areas. Given the frequent histological morphological overlap among these tumors, immunohistochemical findings and molecular characteristics have emerged as crucial differential diagnostic criteria. Core differential diagnostic points include the following: histologically, there must be meticulous identification of typical structures obscured by mucin (such as squamoid cells in mucoepidermoid carcinoma and apocrine features in salivary duct carcinoma); in immunohistochemical staining, CK20 is useful for distinguishing intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (positive) from mucinous adenocarcinoma (negative), while androgen receptor aids in differentiating salivary duct carcinoma (positive) from mucoepidermoid carcinoma (negative); and molecular testing plays a critical role in definitive diagnosis (e.g., the AKT1 E17K mutation for mucinous adenocarcinoma, MAML2 rearrangement for mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and MEF2C::SS18 fusion for microsecretory adenocarcinoma). This paper systematically summarizes the core pathological features and differential diagnostic points of mucin-rich salivary gland tumors, aiming to provide a practical reference for clinical pathological diagnosis.

Depression, a mental health disorder, has emerged as one of the significant challenges in the global public health domain. Investigating the pathogenesis of depression and accurately assessing the symptomatic changes are fundamental to formulating effective clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies. Utilizing non-invasive brain imaging technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and scalp electroencephalography, existing studies have confirmed that the onset of depression is closely associated with abnormal neural activities and altered functional connectivity in multiple brain regions. Magnetoencephalography, unaffected by tissue conductivity and skull thickness, boasts high spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, offering unique advantages and significant value in revealing the abnormal brain mechanisms and neural characteristics of depression. This review, starting from the rhythmic characteristics, nonlinear dynamic features, and connectivity characteristics of magnetoencephalography in depression patients, revisits the research progress on magnetoencephalography features related to depression, discusses current issues and future development trends, and provides insights for the study of pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as for clinical diagnosis and treatment of depression.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objectives:To investigate the protective effect of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD?) against noise-induced cochlear damage and preliminarily explore its underlying transcriptional and metabolic regulatory mechanisms.Methods:During the study period (January 2023-February 2025), an oxidative stress model was established using House Ear Institute-organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells, and cell viability was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze cell apoptosis. A mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss was developed, and the mice were divided into three groups: a noise-exposed saline group, a noise-exposed NAD? intervention group, and a noise-free control group. Hearing protection effects were evaluated by auditory brainstem response (ABR) and immunofluorescence. Metabolomics and transcriptomics were used to analyze the regulatory effects of NAD +on transcription and metabolism in mouse cochlea. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot were used to verify the differential transcription and metabolic molecules and their functions. Data were statistically analyzed with GraphPad Prism 9.3.0. Results:NAD +at concentrations ranging from 10-80 μM effectively restored cell viability and reduced apoptosis induced by H?O? in HEI-OC1 cells. NAD? intervention significantly improved 16-32 kHz ABR thresholds after noise exposure ( P<0.05), reduced outer hair cell loss rates ( P<0.05), and attenuated ribbon synapse damage ( P<0.000 1). Metabolomics analysis revealed a significant downregulation in the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, with decreased levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its related metabolites. ELISA results showed that LPA levels in the NAD? intervention group were significantly lower ( P<0.05). LPA inhibitor (ATX inhibitor 1) exhibited a cell protective effect similar to that of NAD?. Transcriptomics analysis indicated a significant upregulation of key genes related to potassium ion channels, such as Kcnq4. qPCR and Western blot further confirmed the significant upregulation of Kcnq4 and its encoded protein in the NAD? intervention group ( P<0.05). In the presence of the KCNQ4 inhibitor (ML252), the protective effect of NAD? was inhibited. Conclusions:NAD? exerts effective protective effects against noise-induced cochlear injury. Its protective mechanism may be closely related to the inhibition of LPA metabolic pathway and the up-regulation of KCNQ4 channel function.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of varicella in Yandu District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province from 2005 to 2021, so as to provide insights into the improvements of the varicella control strategy. Methods: The data pertaining to cases in Yandu District from 2005 to 2021 were captured from the National Notifiable Diseases Network Reporting System, and the coverage of varicella vaccination in Yandu District from 2016 to 2021 was captured from the Jiangsu Provincial Immunization Planning System. The trends in incidence of varicella were analyzed using annual percent change (APC), the temporal, population and spatial distributions of varicella cases were descriptively analyzed, and the correlation between the cumulative first-dose varicella vaccination rate and incidence of varicella was examined among birth cohorts in Yandu District from 2005 to 2021. Results: Totally 6 144 varicella cases were reported in Yandu District from 2005 to 2021, with annual mean reported incidence of 50.05/105. The incidence of varicella appeared a tendency towards a rise in Yandu District from 2012 to 2018, with APC of 77.97% (t=11.702, P<0.001), and the incidence appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2018 to 2021, with APC of -41.93% (t=-6.911, P<0.001). The incidence of varicella peaked during the period between November and January of the following year (45.95%), and during the period between May and June (20.35%). The mean incidence of varicella was higher among men than among women (54.72/105 vs. 45.00/105; χ2=57.858, P<0.001). The highest incidence of varicella was found among cases at ages of 6 to 9 years (543.78/105), and varicella predominantly occurred among primary school students (38.40%) and pre-school children (31.85%), with high annual mean incidence in the eastern urban areas (74.27/105).The cumulative first-dose varicella vaccination rate negatively correlated with the incidence of varicella among the birth cohorts in Yandu District in 2019 (r=-0.501, P<0.001), 2020 (r=-0.646, P<0.001) and 2021 (r=-0.602, P<0.001). Conclusions The incidence of varicella appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a reduction in Yandu District from 2005 to 2021, and the incidence of varicella peaked in winter and at the turn from spring to summer, with varicella predominantly found among primary school students and preschool children.
